<h1>Advanced Threshold Editor: Layout</h1>
<p>Conditional formatting allows you to format controls (text fields, images, 
 sections, and so on) in your reports and documents depending on attribute 
 or metric qualifications. This provides the flexibility to personalize 
 you reports and documents based on the returned data. For an introduction 
 to conditional formatting, see 
<a href="Thresholds.htm">About thresholds</a>.</p>
<p>The Advanced Threshold Editor has the following features.</p>
<h2>
<a name=Toolbar></a>The toolbar</h2>
<p>The toolbar at the top contains: </p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>A list (at the far left) of all the controls and document 
 sections in the document. Select the control or section to work with. 
 Any conditional formats that are already applied to the selection are 
 listed.</p></li>
</ul>
<p class="whs2"><span style="margin-left: 40px; font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span><span 
 style="margin-left: 40px;">: All control types except Grid/Graph can use 
 conditional formatting.</span></p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>New</B></span>: <img src="images/thresholds.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="14px" height="18px" border="0" class="img_whs3"> 
 Adds a new conditional format to the selected object. The new conditional 
 format, titled New Threshold, is added to the list below the toolbar.</p></li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Copy</B></span>: Copies 
 the selected conditional format (the qualifications and the format). </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Paste</B></span>: Adds

 it to suit your needs.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Delete</B></span>: Deletes 
 the selected conditional format.</p></li>

 Re-order the conditional formats.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Add condition</B></span>:

</ul>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Clear conditions</B></span>: 
 Removes all qualifications from the selected conditional format.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Cell formatting</B></span>:

 Threshold dialog box opens.</p></li>

<li class=p><p>Choose one of the following to determine how the conditional 
 format is applied:</p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs4">
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Apply the threshold 
 on metric conditions only</B></span>: Apply the selected conditional format 
 to metric values but not subtotal values. (Default)</p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Apply the threshold 
 on subtotal values only</B></span>: Apply the selected conditional format 
 to subtotal values but not metric values. </p></li>

 to metric and subtotal values.</p></li>
	</ul>
</ul>
<h2>
<a name=Conditional_format_list></a>Conditional format list</h2>
<p>The middle area of the Advanced Threshold Editor lists all the conditional 
 formats applied to the object selected in the toolbar. If no conditional 
 formatting exists for the selected object, the message &quot;There are 
 no items to shown in this view&quot; is displayed. Each conditional format 
 has a box that contains:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>The name of the threshold. The default name is New Threshold, 
 but you can change it by selecting New Threshold and typing the new name.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>A check box in front of the name that enables or disables 
 it. If a threshold is disabled (the check box is cleared), that threshold 
 is not displayed in the PDF.</p></li>
</ul>
<p class="whs2"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: 
 You can also show all or hide all thresholds in a document.</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>The qualifications that determine whether the threshold 
 is applied. Qualifications are the actual conditions that must be met, 
 such as &quot;Region = Northeast&quot; or &quot;Revenue &gt; $1 million&quot;. 
 Each threshold can have one or more qualifications; multiple qualifications 
 are combined with operators such as AND and OR.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>The formatting applied when the qualifications are met. 
 A sample of the formatting and replacement text/symbol is shown to the 
 right. Click the down arrow to select whether to: </p></li>

 the threshold formatting. </p></li>

 (Available only when the selected control is a text field). Replace the 
 text in the text field with new text that you type. You can change the 
 format of the replacement text by clicking <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Edit 
 the threshold formatting</B></span>.</p></li>
